Justified (2010–2015): Season 6, Episode 13 - The Promise - full transcript

Previously on Justified...

Ava Crowder stole my money.

Stole it from the man
who stole it from me.

That man being your new
business partner, Boyd.

Let's go.

Now you're gonna have to make this
look good. How about you hit me?

That look good enough to you,
you son of a bitch?

Where is she?
She ain't here.

Ava?

You need to get me to that
money before I get to her.

I'd sooner die than give you
anything you want.



There's a
million dollars in there!

You let me go, you can have it.

I do not know
what Mr. Markham

has got planned for you,

but I don't want him
to do it to me.

Looks like we can't keep the whole
Raylan-Givens-gone-rogue thing in-house.

I'm gonna need a BOLO
issued for Raylan Givens.

I just heard him tell the FBI
ballsack to issue a BOLO.

Oh, shit.

Raylan Givens?

You're making a mistake.

You know how many guys
have said that to me

when I put the cuffs on them?

About the same amount
that have said it to me.



Guess you think reminding me you're a
fellow lawman's gonna draw you some water.

The fact is, you having
that badge to hide behind

just makes it worse.

Watch your head.

Ripped By mstoll

Where's the rest of it?

Have a seat.

Ava, you remember the first
day I laid eyes on you?

I told you that for a woman
to survive in this line,

she had to be
tougher than the men.

Hell, any woman
who killed her husband

and puts a bullet in her new fiancé...

My compliments on your grit.

I'd say you had a bright future.

Assuming you have a future.

Your man, Boyd, stole my money,

and you stole it from him.

Were you just gonna
give it back to me, Ava?

It's up the mountain.

A little cabin there.

Belongs to a fellow
called Grubes.

It's buried on his property.

That mountain's
crawling with Federals.

How did you get
the money up there?

I dragged it on a sled.

All by your lonesome?

I'm gonna ask you
just one time, Ava.

Who helped you?

My uncle.

But he didn't have
any part in the taking.

He just didn't want
to see me dead.

Your uncle still up there?

All right, for those of you
just joining us,

we have one male
and one female suspect.

You should have mug shots
on your phones.

There's multiple agencies.

So, all communications will
be on the common frequency.

We've got air support

covering the mountain
from the back,

but anyone gets
a visual, call it in,

and the choppers
will maneuver to that area.

All right.
All right, gentlemen.

That's it.
Let's move it.

Marshals?

Something here you wanna see.

Dog team on Ava
tracked her scent

to Tates Creek Bridge
half a mile away,

then it ran out.
- Maybe she got a ride.

Maybe she went into the creek.

- What's that?
- Well, I don't know.

But apparently, the dogs went
apeshit when they hit on it.

Either of you know if it's hers?

All units be advised,

the K-9 team has found
an animal tooth necklace

at the Tates Creek Bridge that may
belong to the female fugitive.

Ask if the necklace
is gator. Alligator.

Sit back from the partition.

Please.

Dispatch, Unit 17,
that necklace,

any chance the teeth on it
came from an alligator?

Over.

Unit 17,
all they'll say at this time

is that the teeth
are about an inch long,

and sharper than shit. Over.

Understood, Dispatch.
17 out.

Okay, listen to me.

You listen to me.

This is the second time
I'm telling you to sit back.

Ain't gonna be a third.

So, you keep your ass planted
and your mouth shut,

or you're gonna ride the rest of the
way in the trunk. Are we clear?

Yeah.

- I'll take it from here.
- Excuse me?

Your prisoner.

This fellow's on an FBI BOLO.

I know. I'd like to be
the one to take him in.

Not that your likes aren't
at the top of my priorities,

but until those creds say "FBI,"
I believe I'll hold on to him.

Well, you're right.
They don't say "FBI,"

but they do say "Chief
Deputy," Officer Lappicola.

So, you can either change
your attitude right quick,

or I'll tear you a new asshole that
you can carry a watermelon in.

Look, Chief, if it was up to me,

you could take him right now.

Well, who's it up to then?

Lieutenant Mathis
is the duty officer.

Well, lead the way.
Let's go see him.

Come on, come on.

Uncle Zachariah?

Uncle Zachariah?

He can't get to
the phone right now.

Thank God you're okay.

I was worried Boyd
might have gotten to you,

put a bullet in you.

He did.

But believe me,
it was meant for you.

Uncle Zachariah,
I've got some bad news.

Mr. Markham has hold of me at
the old Bennett drying shed.

He doesn't get his money
back, he's gonna kill me.

Tell me why I should
give a shit.

I told him you and me
are the only two living souls

who know where that money's hid.

Without one of us alive,
nobody will ever find it.

That's the only reason
I ain't hung up yet.

So, you're on your way?

You tell them to send
an unarmed man.

Meet me at Compass Rock.

Compass Rock-Two miles
east of the trail head.

Compass Rock.
We know where that is.

- Good. You can draw Boon a map.
- No need.

I'll take my girl along.

You don't trust us?

I don't trust anybody.
Not anymore.

Except Boon here.

Make sure that old man's
got my money. All of it.

Yes, sir.

Then kill him.

Told you I'd get you.

KSP found
Dewey's necklace.

But no Ava.

Which means Markham's
probably gonna get to her.

Sweat her into
giving up his money,

and then sweat her some more for
taking it in the first place.

And now, Boyd's at large, too.

Yet you're still gonna
take us both off the board,

while driving me
back to Lexington

for some bullshit
that you know ain't true.

There. You dumb
son of a bitch.

All right.

Where do we
start looking for him?

- Clear.
- Clear.

We've got one body
in a shallow grave.

Another went boom
outside the door.

And neither one
of them's Crowder.

We've got a runner.

Boyd Crowder!

Oh, God!

Go, go, go, go!

God!

That gash on your forehead
must make you Deputy Stiles.

Uh, is that supposed
to be a question?

Sorry, fellas.
Wanna drink in here,

you need a badge
or a pair of tits.

Art, show 'em your tits.

How about we start
with the badges?

Sure, you can stay. As long
as you check your guns.

Say what?

A few years back, we had a
couple of guys get loaded,

open up on their
fellow officers.

Since then, I've been having everybody
check their sidearms at the door.

You got a bunch of Eastern Kentucky
lawmen to give up their guns?

Nice thing about running a
bar in a mostly dry county,

as long as you don't water
down the booze too much,

your customers will
put up with anything.

Plus, I'm known for what you
call my powers of persuasion.

Is that a Henry Aaron?

I wouldn't know. Never
cared much for baseball.

Me neither.

You know, the only sport I ever
cared about was target shooting.

Well, I know there's not that
much benefit exercise-wise,

but it will keep you
from getting concussed.

You know who could tell us
a little bit about that feeling?

Deputy Stiles.

Jesus Christ!

Smarts, huh?
God damn it!

Yeah, the doctor said you might
be sensitive to light and sound.

Where's Markham? I don't know
what you're talking about.

God damn it!

Look, we don't have a lot
of time here, all right?

We know you let Carl
into Boyd's room,

so you know where
Markham's got Ava Crowder.

You are gonna tell us
where he is

and you ain't gonna tip him off.

If you do, we will
come back here

and we will bring a jackhammer.

If he's at the Bennett shed,

it means Loretta's either
partnered up with him, or...

Let's cross that bridge
when we come to it. Mullen.

What?

Anybody hurt?

All right, just sit tight.
I'll be right there.

Crowder started
throwing dynamite.

Jesus Christ.

Rachel set up a perimeter
and pulled everybody back,

but nobody has eyes on Boyd.

I'm gonna have to get up there

before it turns into Ruby Ridge.

You take the truck. I'll
have Nelson come and get me.

Hey, and Raylan, no matter what
you find at the drying shed,

whatever they've done
to Ava or Loretta, you...

I understand.

What do you mean
he's not at Compass Rock?

No, sir,
Mr. Markham.

Son of a bitch.

This is bullshit.

He should have been here by now.

I don't pay you to talk, son.

You know, it's occurred to me,
sitting here, waiting,

that you're one of the few people
that knew Katherine played me.

Maybe you think
you can do the same.

And I won't realize
till it's too late.

Zachariah is an old man.

He's gotta haul all that
cash and avoid the cops.

That's gonna take some time.

I know you've had a lot of
violent men in your life.

So, this ain't the first time
you've had a gun pointed at you.

You ever had one stuck up
under your chin?

Felt that steel
against your neck?

I'm gonna make a big mess
of your beautiful head, Ava.

I want you to tell me
what exactly was said

on the other side
of that phone call.

And I want you to tell me

where you and your uncle
buried my goddamn money.

What?

Ah.

Keep those gun hands
where I can see 'em.

Lest I be forced to send this
corrupt little piggy to the morgue.

I suppose this means
uncle is dead.

And you don't have my cash.

For a bona fide stoner,
you awful quick.

Ava?
Don't you move.

Last time you took
a hostage and forced my hand,

you chose wisely.

This time, not so much.

Oh, you think I'm bluffing?

You think I am, hillbilly?

I wouldn't do that.

Look at me.

Look at me.

God damn!
Raylan, your timing sucks!

So I've been told.

I'd ask you the number for a
couples' therapist, Raylan,

but I don't think you're any
better at this than I am.

I don't suppose that's
your blood on you there.

That please you? Somebody show up
and do your dirty work for you?

Well, Boyd, I don't care
how it gets done,

as long as it gets done.

Well, I guess,
in that case,

you ought to pick up where we
left off in the woods, Raylan.

There is another way.

What's that?

I pull, you put me down?

Either way, I am going
to put you down.

Well, Raylan,
here's the problem.

See, I don't have
any more bullets in my gun.

Try that one.

Ava, now would be a good time
to get out of the way.

Raylan, you mind if I ask Ava
a question before we do this?

Knock yourself out.

Why?

We had the money,
we were home free.

Honestly, Boyd,

I put myself in your shoes.

I did what I thought
you would do.

I ain't doing it, Raylan.

Yeah, you are.

No, I ain't.

You are gonna raise that gun
and we are gonna end this.

Raylan!
You stay out of this.

I ain't gonna
pull on you, Raylan.

So, you go and do whatever
it is you're meant to do.

'Cause someday,
I am gonna get out.

And when I do,
I'm gonna kill her, Raylan.

And then, I'm gonna come
and I'm gonna kill you.

So, what's it gonna be, Raylan?

The boys out
at Compass Rock

haven't found Boon and the girl,
but they'll keep looking.

Someone's gonna
have to drive 'em.

Probably shouldn't be me.

You wanna rock, paper, scissors?

I'll take 'em. You follow.

Done.

Looky here.

You shouldn't have.

Found it in the barn.

I asked Ava if
that was all of it,

but she didn't seem to be
in a talking mood.

Well, it's a long way to Lexington.
I'll see what I can do.

And if Ava knows
where the rest of it is,

and tries using it as leverage?

What? You don't trust me?

You know I'll never
make it inside.

I can tell you where
the rest of the money is.

Almost nine million dollars,
Raylan.

You're trying to bribe
a federal officer now.

I'm just wondering if there's
still a deal to be made.

No. No deals. No outs.
I'm sorry, Ava.

Why didn't you just kill him?

You heard him.

You know there ain't a cell
that can keep him.

What's it prove,
letting him live?

Maybe nothing.

Stay down.

I'm sorry about
all that, Marshal.

But I pulled up to the barn just in
time to watch you two pull away.

Seemed like maybe, yous was gonna
leave without saying goodbye.

No, we had every intention
of finding you.

Guess I saved you
the trouble then.

God damn it!

When's your flight?

Well, in a couple of hours.

Well, I wish I could drive you.

You're not gonna get all
sentimental on me, are you?

I was just thinking,
Ava's still out there.

Maybe I should stay a couple of
days, help run her to ground.

She's not gonna get far,
running without money.

Nine million dollars in those
hills still unaccounted for.

You really think she's gonna
be able to find that?

The place is crawling with LEOs.

Just...

Something feels
somehow incomplete.

I asked you to come to Kentucky

and help us get Boyd Crowder.

Now, it took a little longer
than I originally anticipated,

but you did it,
you got Boyd Crowder.

And you got him right.

You tell Winona
I said, "Hey."

I still don't know
what she sees in you.

It would be weird if you did.

Hold up.

I've got the Seattle chief
on the line.

Where's Rachel?

She'll be here in two.

I'll miss you, Raylan.

Nah, you won't.

You can mail it back from Miami.

Well, I hope you get someone at this
desk that's less of a pain in the ass.

Not likely there's someone who's
more of a pain in the ass.

I just hope it's someone
who can keep up.

You read that a bunch
or you buy it used?

If I say I've read it
10 times, I'm low.

Still want my bag back.

Nice hat.

I tried it on and it fit.

You're gonna
read that book, Tim?

No, Nelson,
I'm gonna eat it.

I read fast. I'll
have it back to you tomorrow.

Keep talking, I'm gonna
throw my stapler at you.

- Worst possible flavor?
- How bad?

So bad, I wouldn't eat it.

Hmm. Fish guts.

Sounds delicious.

Sand. From a playground.

Close, very close, but no.

That a dog pooped in.

That's a good one.
We have a winner.

Tell your mom I gave you that
for reciting the alphabet.

Can I go play now?
Sure.

So much for the kale salad.

Calcium is very important
for young bones.

Yeah, that's why
I give her kale, jerk.

Thank you.

They got the model right when
they made her at the factory.

Mom, Dad gave me a dollar
for saying the alphabet.

Wow!

You'll thank me when
she gets a gold star.

Can Daddy come for dinner?

Would you like to join us?

Richard's parents are in town,

so he's been cooking up a storm.

Oh, I should take a rain check.

Sutter called as if
the office was on fire.

No telling how long
it'll take me to put it out.

Hey, Richard.
Raylan.

Richard, my daddy and I found a baby frog.
Can we take it home?

Sure, punk.
You found a name yet?

Not yet.

Okay, we can do it in the car.

Nana and Grandpa
are coming over.

Wanna say goodbye?
Goodbye, Daddy.

Bye, Willa.

Uh, frogs are her new passion.

I'm afraid I'm gonna find one in her bed
instead of Mr. Bear one of these nights.

Why does he call her "punk"?

Oh, don't start.

I could explain what I do for a living.
I run into punks all day.

It's short for punkin, Raylan.

Nonetheless, it has
other connotations.

Oh, my God. You're the most
stubborn man I have ever known.

Beats angry.

You know, you gave her a dollar
for reciting the alphabet,

which is something
she's been doing since April.

I love the way she says

Man, she really
knows how to play you.

Mmm.

Can you pick her up
on Wednesday after school?

I can and I will.
See you then.

We get a line on Brancato?

No, still
watching the mother.

What then?

Bennett has food poisoning, so you're
gonna transport a prisoner to Glades.

- You can't do it because...
- I'm on the Brancato hunt.

You're a dick.

A dick that doesn't
have to drive to Glades.

Right, Charlie?

You ain't gonna invite me in?

All I got's water and water.

No Coca-Cola or RC?

Coffee?

I have a hard time
sleeping as it is.

I imagine.

I would invite you in,
but the place is a mess.

Besides, I wanna
enjoy being outside.

We can walk if you want.

As long as you leave behind what I
assume is a rifle in your hand.

It's an old family ranch.

Broken up 20 years ago in what I
understand was bitter acrimony.

I'm staying in
the caretaker's house.

Yeah, it is spectacular.

And while I'm curious
as to how you got here,

what I'd first like to know is who
helped you get out of Harlan?

Who says anyone did?

When they found my car,
engine was warm.

They'd have found you
if you were on foot.

I was hitchhiking.

Lucky you,

getting someone who doesn't mind
picking up a woman in handcuffs

and can also get you
past roadblocks.

We went down a list trying to
figure out who helped you.

Thought for a while
it was Ellen May.

But her WitSec marshal could
account for her that day.

We looked at Limehouse,

but found he'd left Nobles
the day before.

My best guess has
always been Wynn Duffy.

He gets you out of Harlan in exchange
for the location of the money.

If there's anyone who can get you
by a roadblock, it's Wynn Duffy.

If I give you a name,
I'm betraying their trust.

Even if it is Duffy,
don't worry.

He's vanished from
the face of the Earth.

Rumors of him
surfing in Fiji. That's it.

How did you find me?

A junior deputy
in the Seattle office

was scouring local newspapers
west of the Continental Divide.

He saw someone looked,
maybe could be you

in the background of a newspaper
picture about a pumpkin patch.

Shouldn't have gone there.

Pumpkins were expensive,
even for California.

The one I bought had rot.

How are you making ends meet?
Cutting hair?

I done thought
you'd be looking for that.

So no, I haven't held scissors

and a comb in my hands
since I left Harlan.

Connie, the lady
that owns the parcel,

she uses horses to work
with special needs kids.

I help with that mostly.

Hand out helmets,
do some sidewalking.

I look after the big house, muck
and feed 'em when she's not around

and I work at the school
in town and I also...

I volunteer at
the church sometimes...

You trying to talk me out
of taking you in

or are you shooting
straight for sainthood?

You gonna take me in?

You ran on me, Ava.

Three times.
Once at gunpoint.

It's not like you're finding me here
running whores or robbing banks?

Every long-time fugitive
I've ever run down

expects me to congratulate them

for not doing what no one's
supposed to be doing anyhow.

I'm gonna show you something.

But you gotta promise me you won't
breathe a word to Boyd about it.

I don't intend to see Boyd
again in this life. Promise!

Or you can cuff me now and put
me in the back of your car.

So what's the big secret?

You got a bear chained up
back here?

It's okay, honey. You can come out now.
It's just an old friend.

Of course.

We were looking for a woman,
not a pregnant woman.

Now you know why
I made you promise.

I can't have Boyd
even knowing he exists.

I'm not saying
he'd cause him harm.

He'd just ruin his life.

What's his name?

Zachariah.

The only man in my life who
never wanted anything from me.

If we're gonna take this
to the next step,

I need to know that he's set up.

- Now, there's a couple two ranches over...
- Ava, stop.

I ain't gonna take you in.

Oh.

Looks like you feed him well.

Put clothes on his back.

You play with him?
You read to him?

Mmm-hmm.

Thank you.

I said you'd be fine.

Now hopefully
you can sleep better.

You're not the only one I've been
afraid to see at my front door.

There I was

in the middle of
the Mexican desert,

driving a truck filled with
the bodies of murdered men,

followed by a car
with a trunkload of heroin.

I know what you're thinking.

I see you nodding.

You thinking, "God damn, Boyd!

"How many times I got to
listen to this story?"

Well, as many as it takes.

'Cause if that's what you
thinking, you missing the point.

I had to lose it all
before I saw the light.

And do you know why?

I succumbed to temptation.

Now, any man can
walk towards temptation.

But it takes a real man
to walk away from it.

And when I say "walk,"

I mean, keep on walking!

Turn around!

Walk another direction!
Climb up that ladder!

Say, "Get behind me, devil.
Get behind me, devil."

Don't look down!

I'm gonna keep climbing that ladder!
I've got wind in my face!

- Crowder!
- I don't know...

You have a visitor.

Well, today ain't visiting
day, Officer Cregger.

Not that kind of visitor.

To be continued.

Raylan Givens.

To what do I owe
this unexpected surprise?

I hear you're preaching again.
Gathering a flock.

Just spreading the word
of my calamitous fall

and subsequent rebirth in the
light of the Lord, Raylan.

You know you're
repeating yourself, right?

Raylan Givens, I know

you have never believed a word
that has come out of my mouth.

Though I have harbored
the secret hope

that you have nevertheless
enjoyed hearing them.

Well, of all the nonsense
I've heard you spin,

such as "the blacks
are the problem,

"the Jews are the mud people,"

I will grant you one thing.

I do believe you loved Ava.

Did you find her?

We did.

Where?

What is that, a...

Her death certificate, Boyd.

It says Caroline Dean, Raylan.

Name she was
using at the time.

Her Oklahoma driver's license.

Well, a lot of people
can look like...

We matched the DNA to her hair
from her brush in Harlan.

Well, how did she...

Three years ago.

Car crash in West Texas.

We barely missed her in Tulsa.

She was likely driving
all night, trying to,

you know, put some miles
between us.

Fell asleep at the wheel.

We only found out two weeks ago

when the other
Caroline Dean discovered

someone had used
her name, raised a fuss.

Well, was she alone, Raylan?

As far as I know.

Well...

Okay, then.

Maybe it's for the best.

For who?

Well, she was trying to get out.

But I just don't think
that's possible.

Follows you behind
somehow, Raylan.

Hell, sometimes I think
the only way

to get out of our town alive

is to have never been
born there.

But then, of course,
there's you.

How's life in Florida?

Pretty much as advertised.

You wouldn't like it, though.
Lot of Jews.

Raylan Givens,
if I didn't know better,

I'd think you're trying
to provoke me.

Now, you know Jesus Christ
was a Jew.

I've heard.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to...

Look for a reason
to get off the phone?

Can I ask you one question
before you go?

As long as you understand
if it annoys me,

I'm just gonna hang up.

Scout's honor.

Tramble Penitentiary

is a long way
from Miami, Raylan.

Now, you could've
called the warden,

could've sent word
through my lawyer...

You asking why I came?

I thought it was news

that should be
delivered in person.

That the only reason?

After all these long years,
Raylan Givens,

that's the only reason?

Well, I suppose
if I allow myself

to be sentimental,

despite all that has occurred,

there is one thing
I wander back to.

We dug coal together.

That's right.
